On 1 August 2008, Big Brother series 9 sprung a surprise when they introduced Rex Newmark's girlfriend Nicole Cammack into the house.

During Big Brother, Rex Newmark had been going on about how wonderful his girlfriend was and then she was briefly in the Big Brother house as part of an ID parade where Luke and Lisa wrongly guessed that Nicole Cammack was girl number 6.

It was shortly afterwards that Nicole entered Big Brother as one of the ever-changing presents, but also as a fully fledged housemate eligible for the £100,000.

Nicole is immune form eviction in her first week of Big Brother.

Nicole Cammack was a 19-year-old student from Ashford, Middlesex when she entered Big Brother. At the beginning of the series, Rex had expressed concern that Nicole would not be able to focus on her exams because he was in Big Brother.
